African Units Set for Garamantes and Aksumites
This mod replaces a number of units in the Garamantian and Aksumite rosters with darker-skinned African equivalents. I thought it was strange seeing African factions like the Garamantes and Aksumites hiring so many Arab-looking "desert" units. Each of the new units has the same gameplay stats and abilities as the originals; it's only their appearance that has changed. In addition, the Garamantes and Aksumites should be able to train the new units in the campaign mode.
Units which have been replaced for the Aksumite and Garamantian factions (but not any of the others) include:
* All units labeled "Desert" (e.g. Desert Levy, Desert Tribesmen, Desert Warlord, etc.) -> "African" equivalents
* All "Amazigh" units (now replaced with "Saharan" equivalents)
In addition, the Garamantian Lancers, Hunters, Tuaregs, and the Aksumtie Kushites have also been reskinned.
KNOWN ISSUES
As mentioned earlier, while the Garamantes and Aksumites can train the new units instead of their old counterparts, I was not able to swap the units that their leaders' armies start out with. Which is to say, the armies that the Garamantians and Aksumite leaders start out with still have the old "desert" units in their armies.This problem has now been fixed. All starting armies for the Aksumites and Garamantes include the new units.
